During this time, a research grant from the Department of Culture of the City of Vienna (MA7) and travel grants from the Faculty of Historical and Cultural Studies at the University of Vienna enabled him to draft a research project on the food supply of the city of Vienna in the 19th century, as well as his first publications and lectures.
